No. Frogs have no green pigmentation in their skin at all. Like mammals, they are unable to produce green pigment. Mammals, reptiles and amphibians can only produce black and yellow-red pigment, and all colours and patterns on a frog's skin are the result of different combinations of these two pigments.

Frogs contain variations of the yellow-red pigment. Most species of frogs appear green because of the pattern of refraction of blue light by special cells in their skin blending in with this yellow pigment.

Shallow, permanent fresh water is the habitat of the Green Frog (Rana clamitans, Lithobates clamitans).

Specifically, Green Frogs may be found in and along lakes, ponds and swamps. They tend to squeak as they leap from shoreline to water. They are the type of frog that humans are most likely to meet along and in shallow, permanent fresh water bodies in eastern North America.

Are green frogs green when they first turn into frogs?

No. No frogs are green. Frogs have no green pigmentation in their skin at all. Like mammals, they are unable to produce green pigment.
